Starting the Final Week: Webster 15, CJA 8

Coming off two tough, but decisive losses to Kirkwood and Northwest, we enter the last week of the season looking at 3 games and the season-ending Hancock Tournament.

We finally got to play Cor Jesu at their home field of Affton Athletic Association after a scheduling mix-up earlier in the season. We anticipated another tough game, given that we've gone into extra innings the last two years. However, Josie Krueger stayed calm in the circle despite some shaky defense behind her early, winning her sixth game of the season. The bats boomed as we pounded out 15 hits, including 5 from our one and two hitters, Olivia Weik and Alina Castro, matched by 7 RBI between catcher Becca DeGreeff and second baseman Julia Love. Our speed continued to play a huge role in our game as we added 9 stolen bases to the offensive onslaught.

Although our inability to keep CJA down early made the game a little more tense than necessary, there was little doubt in our minds of the eventual outcome as it quickly became clear that the Chargers would not be able to control either our bats or our wheels, and we outscored them in every inning until the sixth and seventh. A solid win and a solid start to our final week.
